Some Sports Badly Sold.

At Madison, on Saturday last, Evan
Lewis, of Ridgeway, and J. C. Muir
ply, of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan,
wreStled for stake of $500 The
match was won by Lewis. After
wards Murphy was matched against
an amateur for n foot race. There
was a good deal of betting, the odds
being decidedly against Murphy, who
appeared green and awkward. The
race was easily won by him however.
Mcmillan, a famous thrower of the
heavy stone, or "shot putter," was
present, and as Murphy made some
pretensions as to what he could do in
that line, he was matched against
Mcmillan for purse of $500. Out
siders and would-be sports put up their
money on Mcmillan, while the veter-
ans backed Murphy, always asking
odds however, on account of his green
and awkward appearance Wen, the
contest was had on Monday, and for
the first few throws Murphy appeared
at disadvantage, and offers of bets
against him were very brisk, many of
which were taken by his hackers, how
ever. McMillan's best throw during
the match was about - feet:.an when
the final throw for Murphy came, he
astonished the natives by putting the
stone As feet six inches, and winning
the match. 1t has since turned out
that ]. c. Murphy was only an assumed
name and that the bearer of the same
was none other than John Mcpherson.
champion shot putter of the world.
The hackers of Mcmillan feel like
smart Alexis taken in. The whole
affair was Il mean trick; but there
ought to be good lesson in it for
many persons who allow themselves
to become deeply interested in wrest-
ling matches and other sporting con-
tests from which gamblers reap a rich
harvest.

What to do with the shocked corn
in the fields is what seems to be per-
picking the minds of the farmers.
That it makes a feed with more work
connected with it than most people
care for, seems to be a pretty general
fact in the minds of the farmers; and
if we are favored with a crop of hay
next year the acreage of corn cut up
will indeed be light in this section of
The country. The expense incurred in
saving it is no small item. First, it
costs Sl.25 an acre to put it in the
shock, and about an acre day of it
seems to be all two men can husk. tie
in bundles and haul in, which makes
il an expensive fodder when provided
in that manner.
Henry Cunningham has had some
of his corn threshed. hauling it di-
rectly from the field to the machine.
He says this is the most satisfactory
way he has discovered of handling it.
In passing it through the machine,
which is a common grain separator, it
cuts the stocks up in reasonably small
pieces, which dispenses with the use
of feed-cutter, which is no small
item. Mr.. c. says they can thresh
five hundred bushels day, the corn
coming out shelled, and ready for the
grinder. The price charged for thresh-
ing is three cents per bushel. Several
interesting remarks can be heard where

Gen. Thomas Ewing is taking part
in the campaign in Ohio. In a recent
speech he made the following reference
to President Cleveland:
"He has shown himself honest
brave, considerable of the public well
fare, faithful to the constitution and
laws, to his pledges of purer admin
istration, and generally to the interests
of the people. He has made mistakes
what president has not? But he has
rectified them, as few presidents have
had the courage to do. The whole
people are wiser than the politicians
They rarely err in their estimate of a
public man. Those presidents whom
they tried and took to their hearts in
spite of the politicians, are now recog,
nized as the great leaders of our histo-
histOry-Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln
The people have tried Cleveland
and believe in him; in his common
sense, his honesty and fidelity
This good opinion is not limited
by party lines, and has not been won
by partisanship, but by keeping stead
lily in view the best and highest con,
ceptiOns Of the duties of his office"
